Hi all

Just having an extension re-furb'd and want to fit two outside lights.
Can anyone recommend a quality manufacturer/supplier for outside lights.
I am looking for a trustworthy source where it is possible to select from a 
range and know that whichever fitting you choose will last a number of 
years, not just 18 months.

The last fitting I purchased shed its paint within a couple of years.  After 
stripping, cleaning, priming and hammeriting, it then looked smart and 
lasted for 10 years.
I would like to find a range of products that do not need this user 
intervention.

TIA

Phil

The best thing about these is that spare parts are easy to come by, so
that when you swing a ladder into your outside light and break the
diffuser like I did a few weeks ago, it's easy to fix.

They made in Glasgow, if I remember rightly, so should be pretty tough.
